A dental implant is a fixture placed into the jawbone to fuse with the bone and act as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. This is the closest thing to a natural tooth, and it has great stability because it stands on its own.
Over time, changes to your jaw can cause dentures to stop fitting like they use to, causing discomfort and disrupting your ability to speak or chew food. However, you don’t have to live with ill-fitting dentures. If you or anyone you know has dentures that don’t fit well, we want you to know there is a solution: denture relining.
